Assertion A : A bar magnet dropped through a metallic cylindrical pipe takes more time to come down
compared to a non-magnetic bar with same geometry and mass.
Reason R : For the magnetic bar, Eddy currents are produced in the metallic pipe which oppose the motion of
the magnetic bar.
In the light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below
